  • Mixed bag

    For the critical listener who is mostly just curious, like in a sociological way, about all the unsupported ideas floating around about this and that, it can be a hoot. However, the zealous devotion to D.B. Cooper became tiresome.

  • Has Both Good and Bad Points

    I started listening to this podcast because I’m very interested in the Zodiac Killer case.

    And this is an unusual podcast for anyone interested in the Zodiac Killer.

    There are issues, however.

    Far too much time is spent on fringe theories. There seems to be no suspect or theory that is unworthy of multiple episodes which are essentially the equivalent of a dog chasing its tail for hours and hours on end. Ok, if you want to talk about a sketchy book with a particular POV, ok. But devoting 7 episo... more

  • Conflicted

    Ok, so I am definitely conflicted in leaving a 4 star instead of a 5 star review.

    I started listening to this podcast because I’m very interested in the Zodiac Killer case.

    And this is a good one for anyone interested in it.

    The presenter is refreshingly unconcerned with filler, drama, giving unnecessary props to specious theories, etc.

    But, his staccato, rapid fire delivery works against him in the long run. Dial it down just a touch and you will have a far superior podcast.

    I have to be hones... more

The Autobiography of Jack the Ripper: The Full Backstory
Q: Do you believe that a serial killer would write his own autobiography and then leave it behind to be published?

Did D.B. Cooper Go to Mexico?
Q: Do you think that DB Cooper would have aborted the mission if he didn't get the back row of seats?
The host considers that if Cooper couldn't secure the desired seating, he might have aborted the mission altogether.
Did D.B. Cooper Go to Mexico?
Q: Do you believe that DB Cooper took the briefcase bomb with him when he jumped?
The host speculates that Cooper likely secured the briefcase bomb to himself when he jumped out.
Did D.B. Cooper Go to Mexico?
Q: Do you think that DB Cooper actually wanted to go to Mexico when he said he was going to Mexico?

Madeleine McCann: The Parents' Deception
Q: I am open to the theory involving the parents, but I think the Deception Detective did a disservice to that theory.
The parents' behaviors and inconsistencies in their stories provided grounds for suspicion, but simply labeling these as deceptive without a thorough analysis can misrepresent the case.
